Hey guys, really like this plug in. I have a small problem though, was thinking if someone could help me.
I am using Highcharts component for plotting data from a consumed API. The user can choose dimensions and measures in real time and therefore the component has to be ajax refreshed when the user changes the input. When I tried this with the simple script-component the chart just disappeared when the refresh came and I wonder if this has something to do with the javascript or if I am implementing it wrongly.
I changed to using the Web Block and it worked better however I am plotting things that are dependent of categories, which means I would like to have text instead of numbers in one of the axis, is this possible with the web block?
Many thanks in advance!
Hey Jack,
I had this problem when not setting the min height for the chart.
However is possible to use text as the value of the axis.You have checked the documentation?

I tried to set the height of the component to an arbitrary number but it still disappeared when I use Ajax refresh, here is my code with hard coded data:
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
"$(function () { $('#" + container.Id +"').highcharts({ chart: { type: 'line', zoomType: 'xy', height: 500, width: 600 }, title: { text: 'Create PDP Failure' }, subtitle: { text: 'time' }, series: [{ name: 'Users', data: [[233,444][444,222]] }] }); }); "
As I am interpreting the documentation I have to set the xAxis type to categories for the labels to show the strings, (which is not possible through the input variables of the web block) but I haven't read it all. Would mean a lot if you can educate me on how to get the HighChart Web block to do so..
Thanks again for your time!
Oh that's interesting! Thanks for your help! :)
